I've always loved rice-based dishes. I think it's because my dad loves rice. I guess you can't be from Arkansas and not love rice, since they have many rice fields there. On Sunday, I grabbed a roast chicken from the grocery store. What a great thing they do, to roast a chicken so you don't have to. Frequently, I have to stretch to come up with a side dish that isn't potatoes. Here's Sunday's.
Comfortable Rice
1 onion diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
8 ounces of mushrooms, sliced
2 tbs. olive oil.
Saute the veg in the olive oil until the onion is translucent.
Add: 1 cup rice
2.5 cups of chicken stock, and the seasoning blend of your choice.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until the liquid is all absorbed.
I then cut up a tomato in small dice, and garnish.
Rob said it was like a comfort food, so it became comfortable rice.
